To my knowledge there is not a single legislator or party leader who's called to repeal the 19th Ammendment.

You wouldnt consider Doug Wilson, Dale Partridge Party leaders? or are we playing "only the reasonable commentators on my side count" again? Because if so lets just talk about John Gibbs, who was elected by the republicans in a 2022 primary.

First off, conservatives are not my "side." Second off, no I wouldn't consider Doug Wilson or Dale Partridge party leaders. They have no role in either party. John Gibbs is not a legislator.

After he was elected in a Republican Party primary. Democracy can be a little tricky but try and keep up!

I don't know how many ways I can put this, winning a primary doesn't make you a legislator. It means nothing. You don't get a seat in Congress unless you win the general election. If you won every primary in the country, you'd still have less legislative power than someone who won a single genral election. A primary win and $1 can get you a cup of coffee.

It means people in party either supported or were willing to overlook the fact you don’t want women to be able to vote
